Key Lime Pie with Organic Lehua Honey

This recipe for raw key lime pie is originally from the Café Gratitude cookbook. All the recipes are totally raw, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined-sugar free. This key lime pie is a favorite – you don’t have to tell anyone the secret ingredient is avocado! The original recipe calls for agave nectar to make it 100% vegan, but we think that our raw Lehua honey adds something extra-special to this unique dessert, and makes it even more nutritious!

1 1/4 cups pecans
